Given that 12.2 slipped by 2 months, and the development process for 12.3 is "to be discussed", what schedule are we working on towards 12.3 at the moment?
Every time I've been involved in a project without a schedule, we've had a long period of (probably highly satisfying for developers) of 'undirected hacking' followed by crisis, followed by a rush to 'get it out before people forget who we are' which inevitably had some fallout (I'm thinking of the period leading up to KDE 4.0 here ;).
Man plans God laughs but anyway
So I'd like to start the discussion now before we lose a month waiting to discuss it at osc12, where only a fraction of the active members of the project are is going to be present anyway. You don't want everything to be decided by German Engineers* for you do you?
Some ideas to start the ball rolling:
* openSUSE 12.2 original schedule + 8 months = openSUSE 12.2 actual release + 4 months = Do a short cycle and release in March 2013, essentially 12.2 + bugfixes and updates
Do you think that would give enough time so cease out sysV-init and switch to systemd without major headaches ???
* openSUSE 12.2 actual release + 8 months = May 2013, business as usual, using a fixed process to solve the problems that caused the 12.2 slip
That would also give some breathing zone to the release team. However if we can have Factory in such a stage that it is not broken by major players (ie. gcc-XYZ glibc-XXX), then release should not be an issue. But the release team should have some room to breathe in between the releases.
